What happens once people start working with me as their coach?
Leading up to the New Year, many of us begin to contemplate the changes we want to create in our lives.
Over the next few weeks, I'm going to profile some of the wonderful women I've been fortunate to work with.
What changes did these women create in their lives alongside working with me as their coach?
⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Let's start with Cathy.
Cathy is an Equity & Inclusion Advisor and we worked together on building assertiveness, trusting her voice as an advocate for change, and building resonance for her to honour the work which lights her up most.
Here's what Cathy said about our work together:
"I immediately saw the impact of having Natalie as my coach from day 1. I definitely have more confidence in my ability to move forward. I have concrete goals and a realistic long-term plan. I feel more inspired and committed in my current role as I see it as a conduit to bigger things to come!”

BEAUTIFUL BLIND SPOT
i have blind spots
they keep me stuck
in a dark tunnel
until i notice them
it used to be too much
to see those spots
so i stayed mostly in the tunnel
when they showed up
something changed
today i want to notice them
with compassion, mostly
as i see the spots, feel their pull, name them
they get lighter
some dissolve
many are teachers i come to love
we fear our spots
because of the pain
so we stay in the tunnel
and don’t wake up
to see ourselves whole
which is what we needed all along

RESET TO BEING
at least I can reset
every morning
from doing
to being
as day pushes on
so too will doing
relentlessly
push for its way
there is n e v e r a n e n o u g h
to satisfy this drive
to do
but, there sits being
patiently
in trust, in ease
watching doing
with compassion
when being feels enough
doing moves magically, mysteriously
at least, i must reset
each morning
to being enough

ENOUGH TO THRIVE
we’re enough now, my loves
to rise
thank you, lack.
you served us well
when we felt we had to survive.
now, it’s time
for us
to thrive
beyond the fear
of breaking
if we try
beyond the critic
who judges us
when we shine
enough.
